Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The effective reuse of secondary batteries in urban areas is hindered by the difficulty in matching vehicles or devices that require power with suitable secondary batteries capable of supplying power.
Innovation Solution
An information providing system that includes a supplementing target device capable of calculating maximum required power and acquiring air temperature data, which transmits this information to a server to search for suitable secondary batteries that match the power and temperature requirements, thereby facilitating the reuse of secondary batteries.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If secondary batteries are introduced into urban areas for power supply, then energy utilization efficiency is improved, but difficulty in matching power supply and demand increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a server as an intermediary system that receives power supply information from supplementing target devices and power supply capability information from secondary batteries, then performs automated matching. This mediator resolves the complexity of direct matching between power seekers and power providers by centralizing the matching logic and data processing on the server side.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback mechanisms where the server continuously receives updates on power supply requests and battery availability, then provides real-time or near-real-time matching results. This feedback loop enables dynamic adjustment of power allocation based on current urban energy demands and battery states, improving overall system efficiency.
2Ease of operation
If automated matching system is implemented, then ease of operation is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the power matching system into distinct functional modules: supplementing target devices that generate power requests, secondary batteries that provide power supply capability, and a server that performs matching logic. This segmentation allows each component to have specialized, simplified functions while the overall system achieves automated operation through their coordinated interaction.
